Austrocallerya

Austrocallerya is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the subfamily Faboideae in the family Fabaceae.

[1] Species of Austrocallerya are a robust twining woody vines, reaching 2–20 m (7–66 ft) high.

The individual flowers are 11–16 mm (0.4–0.6 in) long and have the general shape of members of the subfamily Faboideae.

[2] In 1912, Stephen Troyte Dunn recognized the distinctiveness of three Australasian species then placed in the genus Millettia, and created a separate section, Austromillettia, for them.

[2] Austrocallerya species can be distinguished from Padbruggea by a number of features, including the more upright inflorescences, the broader standard petals, and the more linear seed pods.
